WHS Student Named Finalist in Mahatma Gandhi Peace and Harmony Award

Westfield High School student Paige McCann was one of five top finalists in the Mahatma Gandhi Peace and Harmony award. She entered the contest in the spring of 2012 when she was a student at Roosevelt Middle School.

Her artwork was based on the Gandhi quote, "There is sufficiency in this world for man's need but not for his greed." She attended an award ceremony at Princeton University with her teacher Marissa Conneely, a history teacher at Roosevelt School, and her family.
